I have found that if the primary group of the individual submiting the data is
the same as the group of the shared folder then everything works fine. This is
an acceptable solution for my Administrators, because they have a simple group
structure, but students on the other hand who belong to several classes -- I
haven't figured out how to deal with that.

Any additional idea?
